VMA SCHOOL

Learn from the best in the business, focus on the future of Venue Management and form career-long relationships with industry peers this November (10 – 16) at the VMA Venue Management School.

This is the only industry run school of its kind in the Asia Pacific region. A school designed by today’s leaders for tomorrow’s leaders and provides a recognised national Australian Diploma qualification. Since 1994, the internationally recognised VMA Venue Management School has been a turning point in the careers of more than 800 up and coming industry professionals.

The school has been an amazing experience, you meet so many connections across the industry, being able to liase with CEO’s, industry leaders across all genre’s and venue sizes. It’s fantastic.

I can’t recommend the venue management school highly enough. I’ve been involved as a student and now as an instructor and committee member and the level of education you receive on this program are unsurpassed in our industry.

I was so excited to come face to face with some legends of the industry. There were commercial opportunities and networking opportunities I’d only dreamed of. Absolutely love it and highly recommend it for anyone in the venue industry.

Quality education is a product of integration; whereby reading, research, listening and discussion combine to deliver the ultimate learning platform! The Venue Management School gives students a unique opportunity to experience such an environment and truly learn from both industry experts and most importantly, their industry peers.

In an ever-changing industry it is often difficult to maintain knowledge and position your venue as a competitive force, where can venue managers learn? …at the VMS!

In a time-poor industry when can quality people ever be rewarded with relevant professional development opportunities? …at the VMS!

In an industry whereby training is often dictated by budget, where is it possible to find a cost-effective means of improving your people and your business success? …at the VMS!

This school has evolved over 20 years into an academic environment created by the industry, for the industry…I encourage all CEO’s and General Managers to participate by encouraging key staff to attend and learn from those who have experienced it before and know what’s coming next.
